The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Big Agnes Three Forks Shelter:

Was ok to setup on a nice sunny day in the backyard. Takes about 10 or so minutes. With no to light wind it works pretty well keeping sun out. I took it out on the beach where it was pretty windy. Setup was ok but putting it away was another story. Too much fabric flying around everywhere. Aluminum poles were moderately bend given the wind pushing on the shelter. I gave up putting it away in it's case due to frustration. So a recommend on sunny days but not on windy days.

Comments about Big Agnes Three Forks Shelter:

I have owned several shelters over the years, and this one is by far the best. Sets up easily in just a few minutes, and once it's staked out (including the guy lines!), it's solid enough to withstand gusty winds. The accessory wind-walls work well and can be moved around. The only thing I wish Big Agnes would design was a simple bug netting accessory. I'm thinking of engineering my own for when bugs are present. I like to set this up directly in front of my Sierra Designs tent, which uses the same pole configuration. It makes for a nice large covered shelter.

Comments about Big Agnes Three Forks Shelter:

Picked this up on the way to Clearwater for spring break. Opted for the Big Agnes despite no reviews. Half the weight of the REI shelter with steel poles. Poles appear to be high grade aluminum with large overlap at connection points. No plastic connections or joints. Setup was quick and easy for a single person...... married couples may find it more challenging :)

Performed well in moderate winds using just the sandbags at corners. Stakes supplied are short and pretty much worthless for the beach. I considered getting beach stakes, but instead piled some sand over the sandbags and stomped the corners down.
